Format Paragraph with Bulleted List and Multiple Fonts and/or Character Styles

[alexf31788685]

I am setting up text frames for a catalog design and I am trying to apply a bulleted list after the first line (or second line) without manually selecting the text and applying the Paragraph Style I have set up for a Bulleted List.

I have a Character Style for the: Headline, Bullets, Prices, and Height (which is the numerical value that is Right Indented).

I have a Paragraph Style for the: Headline and Bullets

All the type is 8 pt over 10 pt line spacing.

The Left Indent is 4 pt and First Left Line Indent is -4 pt.

I thought Nested or Line Style would be the function to do it but I can't apply a Paragraph Style (Bulleted List).

I'm not sure if there's a way to use GREP to achieve this as well.

Hi

Surely there are ways to do so.

Question is, do you use automatic bulleting (as per top-right example) or text-bullets?

Here's an example on how to use GREP styles to achieve what you want using a single paragraph style.

Of course, it's just an example based on your screenshots. When it comes to GREP styles, you must have consistent patterns.

I.e: If your last line doesn't start by "MAPP", hiding the last line bullet will fail.

See the editor text panel : all paragraphs start with a bullet.

You obviously don't need them for first and last paragraphs, but I imagined a scenario where the para style uses auto-bulleting and then I went to Text > Bulleted And Numbered Lists > Convert bullets into text.

Of course, you can imagine other scenarii depending on your workflow. Your call.

Thanks for the response! I was able to use the "Next Style" to get the Headline and Bulleted List to work. I used the GREP style for the Height style and now that works.

Now the last part is getting the last line in the paragraph to be the Price Style (MAPP/MSRP) Character Style.
